Make this Halloween a day to remember with these spine-tingling celebration tips.

Host a spooky story night. Have family and friends dress up in their costumes and come over to tell haunting tales. Make a story chain by having each person tell a portion of a story, and take turns adding embellishments and silly twists.

Practice safe trick-or-treating. Contact your neighbors and suggest meeting as a large group to trick-or-treat together. Create a map of trusted houses for the group to visit, with each family hosting for a 30 minutes of games, snacks and refreshments. Rotate until everyone gets to play host.

Enjoy a family bake-tivity. On the night before Halloween, gather the kids to bake dark-themed cupcakes and other goodies. Share the baked goods with friends the next night.
